Pretending and Performing (The Idea)

Read Scripture:

Colossians 1:22-23 He has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Meditate on Scripture:

1. What is one thing you learned from today?

2. Take a honest look at your sinfulness. How can you see pretending to help compensate for the weight of your sin?

3. Take a honest look at God’s holiness. How have you tried to change your performance to gain God’s approval?

Pray:

Take a minute to pray and ask God to let you see the truth about Him and your own sin so you can grow in the Gospel.
